Hello, I need some help with my motherboard, the Asus ROG Maximus XI Hero. After shutting down the pc, the motherboard's led lighting stays on. I tried this solution: https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?52422-HOW-TO-Turning-off-All-motherboar-lights-when-shut-down-Keep-ROG-LED-when-PC-is-on. But after I enabled it, my pc always takes two attempts to boot. Any solutions? The psu is a bequiet dark power pro 11. Thanks for your help.

I hope you did not cancel your plans on a monoblock for the XI Hero ?

Ok Yeah X-Flow would be nice Do you know if there will be a D-RGB version of the Vector GPU block?

Hi, thanks for your reply. I will not forget the backplate I just ordered the Velocity D-RGB Is it possible to keep the motherboard lighting that covers the I/O panel or do I have to remove that when using the monoblock? And is the monoblock a D-RGB? Do you plan releasing an X-Flow Rad in the near future btw?

Nothing yet. I am buying the EK DIY Kit. Do you have any recommendations for cutting and bending? Don't want to use angled fittings to be honest.

I followed these steps: 1. Asus Board 2. WiFi 3. Not more than $350 So I decided between Strix 390-E and the Hero. Preferred look of the Hero

added the fittings

Hello guys, as I am pretty new to water cooling I wanted to ask if you can check my selected parts. The PC has the following specs: Phanteks Evolv X Asus Maximus Hero Xi (WiFi) i7 9700K RTX 2080ti 1000 Watt beQuiet PSU As I made good experiences with EK WB I wanted to stick with them for the most parts. If there is a better solution for any part, I'd like to here your recommendation.

Hello, does anyone know what this sh** is? I am using an Asus Maximus XI Hero. Greetings Marcel

Hello, I just installed a WD Black NVMe SSD on an ASUS Z170-A. There is nothing else connected to any SATA port. Unfortunately the the SSD is not shown and I can not install windows on it. Do you have any idea what's wrong? CPU is a i5-6600 and the GPU a ASUS ROG Strip 970. BIOS Ver. 0604. Thanks for your help! Greetings Marzii

So basically I know as much as from the beginning. I'll go with an Asus board. No clue about the CPU though. Why should the supported amount of PCIe lanes be irrelevant? How many lanes are needed for a GPU?

https://ark.intel.com/products/126684/Intel-Core-i7-8700K-Processor-12M-Cache-up-to-4-70-GHz-

I found this on the Intel site, that is why I was wondering: PCI Express Configurations ‡Up to 1x16, 2x8, 1x8+2x4 Max # of PCI Express Lanes16

Ok. The i7 8700k has 16 PCIe lanes. If I go with a WiFi board I will loose 4 lanes due to the WiFi model (which also blocks one m2 slot) and 4 for a m2 SSD? So I only got 8 left for GPU?

Do the motherboards have comparable overclocking possibilities?
